I am a man more sinned against than sinning.
Nothing will come of nothing. How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child! When we are born, we cry that we are come to this great stage of fools. Who is it that can tell me who I am? The worst is not, so long as we can say, 'This is the worst.' O, let me not be mad, not mad, sweet heaven! Speak what we feel, not what we ought to say. The wheel is come full circle. |
